Social media challenges are a cost-effective and easy way for individuals to start their fundraising journeys. All you need to do is select your challenge and social media platform, launch the fundraiser and start advertising! For more information check out our articles on social media fundraising or Facebook Challenges.

Themed raffles are another simple way to raise money for important causes. Use your creativity to assemble prize baskets around themes like holidays, movie releases, sporting events and more. Advertise your raffles online, at local businesses and on community bulletin boards to spread the word and increase engagement.

For those who are more creatively inclined, consider creating pieces of art, sewing clothing or making jewelry, then hosting a craft sale to benefit your chosen cause. This could be either a one-day event or you could stretch it out over several weeks. You might even consider establishing an online shop. 

If you are someone who enjoys singing, playing an instrument or playing video games, a charity concert or streaming session might be perfect for you! Entertain friends, family and your community at large with your performance while raising money for important causes.

Are you someone who enjoys cooking or baking? What about crafting? Share your skill set with your community in the form of classes. Participants can make a small donation to your chosen cause in exchange for access to your class. Consider recording the class and making it accessible to those online for further reach.
